It's #CanadianBeerDay today. Here's the local craft brewery's tribute to Robin Scherbatsky's alter ego, played by Vancouver-born Cobie Smulders. It's described as tasting like "a creamsicle in a can."

I didn't recognize her in that photo!

Photo taken at Hearst Castle in San Simeon of the indoor swimming pool with its opulent mosaic blue walls, gold trim, and carved ceiling. Called The Roman Pool, one of the Roman marble statues is visible in the corner.

Your idea of a drivers license exam reminds me of this short story. That final image of the 'two grooves worn into the floor' is always disturbing.

Surely Mr. Giles would appreciate this Lego version of his library workspace.

Stuff left at the curb here usually gets picked up fast, too. Upholstered items are usually a bit slower to leave the neighbourhood.

Adorable!

There are several models to choose from in the chairs in incongruous places collection. 🙂

A fabulous addition to the chairs in incongruous places collection!

Screenshot of Kirsten Dunst pretending to be an Albanian orphan. Over her shoulder, Dustin Hoffman explains the ‘fake war’ shots to her.

I think of that film at least once a week.

🥰

My neighbour has 2 antique chi's. One of them has a bark that sounds like a smoker's cough. But they're both awfully cute.

Poor Greyhounds! They are such beautiful creatures.

Surprised there are not more small dogs on this list. 🐶

All roads lead to Kory.

Nooo, Kitty, it's fall 'back'!

Photo of a tall brown hound flaunting his opulent lifestyle as he stands on the back seat of an aquarmarine-coloured convertible sportscar that is waiting at a stoplight. There are two humans in the front seats, obviously there to do his bidding. The personalized license plate says: Dogz Car.

Livin' the lush life.

We all suspected this was true. 😉

I could see Lucille Bluth driving that. 🙂

Photo of props I used when teaching that novel about the opulent life of The Great Gatsby. One is a toy car that resembles Gatsby's Rolls-Royce. The other is a pair of cufflinks. Unlike Meyer Wolfsheim's, these are silver with blue glass. Not human molars.

Interesting! Those impromptu discussions were the best. Wonderful memories. 🙂

Irresistible. 🙂

Same.

First panel: Greta holding up five fingers. Maria, back to camera, says, "And you're five years old?" Second panel: Maria says to camera, "My, you're practically a lady!" Third panel: Greta beams her adorable smile at Maria.

Love that song! She was soooo cute. 😀

You're welcome. I think it sounds fun! 😀

She sounds like an intriguing woman. Thanks for sharing her story!
Those museum pieces are perfect for next week's #AlphabetChallenge.

Friedrick took Gretl to her prom?! 😀🎬
